This 3-5-3, Another Decade, has the proper formatting and lets us know that ten short years have slipped by. Barrack Obama was half way through his first term, 230,000 Haitians died in a earthquake, and BP filled the Gulf with oil.

Congratulations on winning the contest. This is a short and sweet poem which well met the guidelines, and proved to be successful. The words are well chosen, and the picture, of course, was too.

Snap for the decade! I feel better than ever mentally, but a little unfit physically. I liked this piece very much. It uplifts me and reassures me that things could get even better...

    Rebekka, the most wise thing I have come to learn in my now end of 6 decades of life is --don't regret the should a, could a, would a past, but embrace the hear and now, and do everything you can not to think about that yet to be. I celebrate the Rebekka, right here and right now! May your Christmas be the best one ever!
